As the title says wich lenses do you recomend for my little R50, mainly for motorsport photography. My 18-150mm rf-s kit lense is amaizng but a bit short on reach sometimes I could go up to 1k.

I will consider both EF to RF, new or used, mounts as i could just get and adapter if needed. Thank you

Greetings,

Two options you may want to consider are the RF100-400 or RF24-240.

I would say, yes, to the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM Lens but I am not sure I would suggest the RF 24-240mm. 90mm isn't a big deal for the cost and duplicating a lot of the FL you already have.

I still have to suggest the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 as the best bang for the buck. A new one exceeds your $1000 limit but you can find good used models for your budget or even less. My second choice is the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Lens which is a bit less new but again a lot of used ones out there for well under your budget.

Now keep in mind a long tele is big and they are heavy. I shoot with one, and even heavier lenses, a lot of the time so it doesn't bother me since I am very used to heavy gear. But 600mm should put you in the driver's seat.
